Try www.powerchipgroup.com Wayne or Joel should be able to hook you up with some moderate gains...+27Hp & +24Tq on their PC 93 gold chip for your C43. I've been using their 93 chip on my cars...and been very satisfied.

Also, Evosport has been doing extensive Powerchip tuning, might want to give them call...Vadim has great knowledge with this stuff.

Regards
Richard

Pierre32,

Did you ever get your C43 dyno'ed? If you did could you please post the results for us to see.

How was H&S to work with?

Thanks,

Jeff
